Excellent, efficient claims support, very happy
I submitted a claim in the morning and Martin telephoned that same afternoon to guide me through the process. He was clear, professional and reassuring, as I thought this would be a lot more difficult having never done it before. Overall, the process felt straightforward and well managed, and Martin was very clear and concise. Very pleased with the service received. Would recommend. 5 Stars.

Hi John Campbell,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you feel this way.
All repair requests are assessed strictly in line with the repair plan terms and the technical information provided, to ensure the same fair and consistent approach is applied to every customer. Decisions are based on whether the evidence supports a sudden mechanical or electrical failure of a listed component, not on a willingness to avoid valid claims.
If you would like us to review a specific case or clarify how a decision was reached, please contact us with your plan number and vehicle details and we will be happy to look into it.

Brilliant customer service - Cian
Submitted a request which was initially declined due to a bit of confusion with documents submitted. Initially this was very frustrating which I voiced, and Cian was quick to call me and resolve this issue quickly and effectively. He was incredibly helpful and understanding - great service.

Worst warranty company
Worst warranty company I have ever seen, I took the warranty through a dealer and after 3/4 months my car's gearbox broke down suddenly, which was apparently covered in my gold warranty cover, I contacted them and they asked me to provide them with couple of documents so they could examine on their own but after two days they rejected my claim by saying that the car is aged, but the fun part is that sudden failure of gearbox is already covered in the warranty. I talked to them several times on calls and provided the required items. Their staff is extremely rude, the way they talked to me was so unbearable for me. They just blamed the car and don't accept any liability and try to prove you wrong with twisted policies. The worst warranty company I have ever seen here. Not recommended at all.

Hi Mustafa Karwani,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with the outcome of your repair request.
For clarity, repair requests are not declined due to the age of the vehicle alone. While a gearbox may be listed as a covered component under the Gold plan, a repair can only be approved where the evidence supports a sudden mechanical failure rather than wear, deterioration, or a fault that was already developing. The decision in your case was based on the technical information provided, not on vehicle age.
If you would like us to review the assessment again, please contact us with your plan number and vehicle details so we can confirm everything on file.

Dreadful
Dreadful . I purchase a car in August at the age of 64 . I drive it about once a week to visit family . On the A13 the day after the big storm i was driving towards home having visited my granchildren when the electric window independantly went down on both front sides . Luckily my daughter was with me . I managed to get it to go up but happened 2 more times so I called handler protect as i got an 18month warranty with vehicle. They asked for my details and a description of problem which i sent . Then they asked for a reason it failed the mechanic said switch broke which caused a short in system requiring new window motor . I sent this on and now they are tryingto claim wear and tear even thoughmechanic stated sudden failure not wear in his report. I feel like they are just trying to getaway with not paying out abd im not allowed to get car fixed because if i do they will void warrantyive been withoutcar for nearly 2 weeks now and there saying there appeal could take another 3 weeks . Without a car . I suffer from mobility issues .m so disappointed in the service im starting appeal today but don't hold out much hope .spoke to Cian in customer service listened to my concerns and we came to a mutually acceptable conclusion. Thankyou

Positive lines of communication.
Whilst initially our claim was rejected, there was a clear line of communication with Handler and in particular Tyrone. This enabled us to work with them to find a solution that benefited everyone. Which meant my car was back on the road quickly and effectively.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND
Absolutely appalled by the way this warranty is operated — it feels like a complete scam.
I took this warranty out when I bought the car specifically for peace of mind. In December, the car developed an unexpected fault and from that point on it’s been nothing but excuses and obstacles.
I spent over a month going back and forth with the warranty company and the finance provider. It was never made clear that I supposedly had only 30 days to obtain a diagnostic report and quotation — and this period fell over the Christmas holidays when many garages were closed or unwilling to carry out warranty work.
I was also told I could not take the car directly to Mercedes for diagnosis, which makes no sense for a premium vehicle. Despite repeatedly asking the claims handlers to recommend approved garages, I was told this was my responsibility — yet I was later penalised for not meeting their arbitrary deadline.
After weeks of delays, the claim was declined, first due to the vehicle’s age and mileage, and then conveniently because the 30-day period had passed. It feels like reasons were searched for retrospectively rather than the claim being assessed fairly from the start.
None of these restrictions or time limits were clearly explained when the warranty was sold. If they had been transparent, I would never have taken it out.
Avoid. This warranty offers no peace of mind whatsoever — only stress and disappointment when you actually need it.

Hi Zoya Shabaz,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear how disappointed you feel and appreciate you taking the time to explain your concerns.
To clarify, repair requests must be logged and supported with the required diagnostic information so that the issue reported can be assessed while it is current. While the plan sets out standard timeframes, we do take into account factors such as the holiday season, garage availability and other reasonable delays, and we will apply fair extensions where appropriate. These are considered on a case by case basis.
For clarity, claims are not declined due to vehicle age or mileage alone. Decisions are based on whether sufficient information is ultimately provided to allow us to assess the reported fault and whether it meets the plan criteria. Where the required information is not received, even allowing for reasonable extensions, we may be unable to proceed with assessing the original issue.
We understand how frustrating this process can be and aim to apply the same fair and consistent approach to every customer. If you would like us to re check what was received and confirm how this was assessed in your case, please contact us directly with your plan number and vehicle details so we can review it accurately.

Ridiculous. Arbitrarily refused to cover repair of failed injector which caused breakdown due to age and mileage of vehicle. Useless product and no customer service failed to support, assist or advise.
